The central idea of the poem Amanda is that the parents who do not understand the nature of their children. They keep giving commands to their children. They want them (their children) adopt the norms of society.
This has adverse impact on the upbringing of the children. Amanda seems to be escaping in the beginning, however in the end she stops imagining and rather becomes short-tempered, moody and angry.
